Prospect Park: Fall

On Saturday my dude and I wanted to take a walk. Although it's already the second week in November, the weather still feels more like September. I've been commenting since the beginning of fall that I just didn't think the leaves were going to be very beautiful this year, and unfortunately I think I'm right. The leaves change in the city much later than I'm used to from living in Ohio, but I don't think we're going to get much of a show this year.

That didn't stop us from finding some trees in Prospect Park that actually came to work this year, although I think most might already be past their peak. Saturday was cloudy but warm, and just walking through the piles of leaves made me feel like a kid happily jumping into the huge piles of leaves my dad used to rake up in our front yard. We shuffled through some pretty beautiful spreads and saved a few of the better specimens.

I haven't talked much about my move this summer to Brooklyn, but I've never once regretted the decision to change boroughs. Sometimes I miss my morning commute through the park, but I love exploring new parts of the city and being so close to places I've always loved like Prospect Park and the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. It's been a little bit difficult to really appreciate fall this year when I'm still sweating in a light jacket, but I'm glad we got a glimpse of it before we're walking through the park in our snow boots again.
